2 : trenchant wit, irony, or sarcasm used to expose and discredit vice or folly

Good grief.
Its called satire, people.
S.A.T.I.R.E. Look it up if you don't know what the word means.
Some folks seem to take everything a bit too seriously.

...would seem, to me, to denote their feeling that the article was meant as a comedic expression and not to be take seriously. The true definition of satire, which you provided for us, may use comedic relief as a vehicle but the intent is to discredit, scorn, ridicule or expose.
But... having said all that... I reiterate... no problem.
